Wait - gutless? Well - come to think of it the Repubs are in much better physical shape than the Dems... I can't think of a one with a significant gut...

Can you...?

Amazing, is it not? This is so typical of the breed that has infested the Congress. Armchair quarterbacks that easily point fingers and name-call, yet I don't see any of them on the ground in Iraq with an M-16....

Talk is VERY CHEAP in Washington.

[Texas Eagle]

"The comment that has most angered Rumsfeld's detractors is his statement that you go to war with the Army you have. That may have been too frank in such a forum, but it was true. We went into Iraq with a military not yet fully transformed to adjust to 21st-century reality..." Because the bridge to the 21st century built by the Clinton administration did not include the military.

Bingo. Senators Lott, Hagel and McCain had more to do with the military we went to war with than Rumsfeld did.

The Three Stooges can shove their criticism up their own asses. If there's any room there what with all the space their heads are taking up.

[goldstategop]

We're sometimes our worst enemies. Its not the Democrats that gum up the works as often as it is RINOs looking to be admired in the legacy media.

[Podkayne]

"U.S. Senator Trent Lott does not believe that Rumsfeld should resign immediately, but he does think that Rumsfeld should be replaced sometime in the next year.

Trent Lott's allegiance as well as that of Newt Gingrich and Jack Kemp is to (first and foremost) the Lodge. Once a member, you can never walk away and quit.

[Nick Danger]

"'I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.'

We do not pay Secretary Rumsfeld to listen to his uniformed officers. We pay him to tell his uniformed officers what to do. He listens to the Commander-in-Chief. So should the uniformed officers, who ought to notice that said Commander-in-Chief has been plinking the Cabinet Secretaries he was unhappy with, and Rumsfeld is still there.

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. And these Senators - if they felt the military wasn't getting what it should have - all they have to do is appropriate funds so the military can be properly equipped. Its the lowest form of political grandstanding for them to suggest Rummy is not doing his job when the truth is they haven't done theirs and they damn well know it.

[GOP Jedi]

This is worse than a leak. These are criminal acts, these are felonies, what these three senators did, subject to criminal referral. Criminal referrals have been sworn out by the White House on these three senators.

What's up with this? Anyone know any more about criminal proceedings against sitting senators? Sounds series.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Think of Charles Grassley doing 50 jumping jacks.

[goldstategop]

Rmmy has been trying to change the mindset and approach of the U.S military to one of fighting the low-intensity wars of the future. And some Senators think that's too much? They're ones who need to be put out to pasture not our Secretary Of Defense.

[goldstategop]

It does. Jay Rockefeller, Ron Wyden and Dick Durbin are three Democrats who have leaked U.S military secrets about a spy satellite project. And we have Republicans jumping all over Rummy instead of traitorous Democrats who are looking at prison time. You gotta wonder where the RINOs priorities are.

[Texas Eagle]

Amen.

The Axle of Jellyfish are projecting their own incompetence onto Rumsfeld. That is the game DemocRATS play. Blame others for your own mistakes, faults and shortcomings.

[TChris]

And we have Republicans jumping all over Rummy instead of traitorous Democrats who are looking at prison time. You gotta wonder where the RINOs priorities are.

Why aren't we FReeping these particular RINOS into the ground over this?

[Dolphy]

The McCain-Hagel Caucus has spoken. It has no confidence in Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Senator John McCain has said so explicitly, while Senator Chuck Hagel has only strongly hinted at it. Both senators have 2008 aspirations, and Republican-primary voters would do well to take early note of how they behave during a budding media frenzy directed at one of the Bush administration’s key players."

I walked precincts, worked phone banks, made contributions and was a poll challenger for the Bush campaign. I would not lift a finger, including to connect the arrows on my optically scanned ballot, for Hagel or McCain.

[Dolphy]

And there are criminal referrals resulting from their leaks?

[discipler]

I am beside myself over this. If the Clintonistas and other liberal Dems don't get you, these liberal Republicans will. Trent Lott and John McCain are way out of line. Rumsfeld has done a heck of a job running this war and deserves a ton of praise. There is no perfect war but it seems that Rumsfeld is expected to achieve nothing less or it's his neck. A lot of the blame for the lack of armor belongs on the Democrats who scaled back to have a "peace time" military. Clinton gutted the military and cut the active duty in half (approximately). His lowered morale with the gay issues and discipline became lax. Trent Lott is stupid to be piling up on Rumsfeld. I wish I knew their true agenda, because it sounds like they are more politically oriented and not national security oriented.
